John Brown will never forget that he was once a power-hungry mob boss. He's lost most of his memories—most of his soul—but no one trusts him...not even himself. One day, John's quiet, measured life collapses, and he wakes up in a secret underground laboratory. Now, exhausted by the experiments carried out on him, his only hope is a woman's voice in the darkness. Eve Miles keeps a big secret. And she does not intend to share it. All her life, Eve did nothing but hide from people who wanted to use her psychic abilities, but once again she found herself locked in some kind of Frankenstein's laboratory. When Mr. Tall, Dark and Brooding is thrown into the next cage, Eve jumps at the chance to escape with him. In the midst of the dangerous Australian outback, pursued by their captors, they will fight side by side. John and Eve are shaken by a passion that burns brighter than the scorching desert sun and promises a chance at a life neither of them thought possible. However, even if they manage to survive and overcome all difficulties, they may not survive each other's dark secrets.
